Supplier Lifecycle Operations uses the ServiceNow®
Document Management functionality to enable supplier managers, supplier owners,
supplier administrators, and supplier contacts to manage supplier documents.

Supplier Lifecycle Operations extends the Document Management plugin (com.snc.platform_document_management), which is installed along with the Supplier Lifecycle Operations application. For more information, see [Document Management](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=doc-management-landing&version=xanadu&pubname=xanadu-servicenow-platform&ft:locale=en-US).

You can create a supplier document configuration to configure various aspects of the document
upload process. The document configuration determines when this configuration is run, who can
view, update, and upload a document, and whether to send notifications when a document is
uploaded or has expired. You can set run conditions to determine when the configuration should
be run or you can run the configuration manually.
